Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA 7 is set to go down tomorrow night (Sat., March 2, 2024) inside KIA Center in Orlando, Fla., featuring a Heavyweight title fight between former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veterans, Junior dos Santos vs. Alan Belcher.
Dos Santos — UFC’s former Heavyweight champion — is 1-0 under Jorge Masvidal’s promotion, defeating Fabricio Werdum via split decision in Sept. 2023. That was “Cigano’s” first win since knocking out Derrick Lewis in March 2019 (see it again here). As for Belcher, he is also one-for-one with the upstart promotion, defeating Roy Nelson via split-decision in Nov. 2023. That was Belcher’s first taste of action in nearly a decade after leaving UFC with two straight defeats.

In the co-main event, former UFC Heavyweight veteran, Chase Sherman, returns for his second fight with the promotion to face off against Alex Nicholson. Sherman defeated Carl Seumanutafa via first-round knockout in Nov. 2023, while Nicholson knocked out Prince McLean in just 19 seconds on the same night.
